Hey everyone! ? I'm currently pursuing my PhD on the association between anxiety and mild infant illness during the first year of motherhood, and I was wondering if any of you would be interested in participating. This would involve taking a short online survey that will help me gather valuable insights. Upon completion, you will have the chance to win a £25 Amazon voucher and/or have the option to take part in a paid zoom interview! To take part in study 2, you are required to have an infant under the age of 12 months and who is currently suffering or recently suffered from a mild illness (i ..read more

Hey friends, I’m here to ask if anyone has tips and tricks that helped them overcome or better coexist with their morning sickness. I’m not pregnant, but afriend of mine is very early in her pregnancy and she’s unfortunately having a very difficult time. She’s been dealing with Hyperemesis gravidarum, which apparently is morning sickness on steroids and she hasn’t found anything that helps relieve the symptoms. She’s been incredibly stressed about her sick time PTO, she’s been stressing about not being able to focus at work, and she isn’t sleeping well. I don’t want to overstep, but I was thi ..read more

Hello, My employer is outside of California (Indiana) and I am wondering if I am still eligible for Pregnancy Disability leave. I used to live in California until January 2024, now living in Illinois. My PDL would start in a month (4 weeks before my due date) if I am eligible.

Hi! I'm not planning on giving birth soon because I'm only 18. And I honestly don't even know if I ever will be able to. Pregnancy is almost like a phobia to me. But since I'm with a very good partner, I'm considering having a family with him. But the thing is that I'm a really short and tiny woman. My height is 1m43 (~4'6) and I weight around 35kg (~77 lbs). I stopped growing at 13 and I probably won't grow more. I also am really anxious at the thought of pregnancy. Doesn't seem like a enjoyable experience to me. It's probably normal at 18 to be scared by all that but yeah... The good part i ..read more

Hello, my wife and are expecting our first baby in about 4 mos, we started late in our early 40s. She's had a few OBGYN visits, including the big 20 week one. All looks good health wise. She takes her prenatal vitamins, we try to eat healthy, she feels things here and there, other than that it seems like everything is pretty smooth. I compliment her that she looks beautiful and that I'm so proud of her bearing our child. Any suggestions on how I can be more supportive? Also will it help to sign up for Lamaze classes or whatever is more effective in today's age, I know Lamaze was something of ..read more

Hey, so I recently found out I'm pregnant, which is great. But I don't have the proper insurance to cover these expenses. This will be my first and Im very confused on how to get "change of life" insurance for my ob appointments that need to be set up. I'm in Pennsylvania and there should be open enrollment all year for these types of things but they certainly make it difficult to access. Any advise/ direction- would be very much appreciated.
